Gastric Balloon Any ballooners out there? Support needed!

Two shakes down, one to go. Going straight to bed afterwards as the temptation is too great! At least tomorrow is back to normal. God help me, what was I thinking?
 
Good luck neisie.
Well I'm home don't think my balloon liked flying has have been burping since I've landed lol.
Hope you are all well x
 
Hey guys hope you are all well. I'm contemplating having the 12 month spatz balloon done as it gives me longer to adjust to new eating habits etc. any advice from you guys that I should look in to before going ahead? X

Hey Banana, I went for the 12 month for the same reason. More time to hold me liable. My only suggestion is to make sure that you are getting sedation on insertion. Also make sure that included in the cost is a dietitian for the year. I don't like my dietitian but that's prob bc she's so darn skinny! It's a quick and easy procedure. Don't fret :) I'm so happy that I did it! Plus you'll have all of us on here for help and support. This place is a God send.

Neisie it is so weird when you can start moving it around. But such a relief lol

I've never been able to move mine. Next time I get hard tummy I'll have to remember to try it again. Normally I lay on my side and that releases the pressure.

I lay on my back, relax, and as you breath in move it. It does feel really weird and can be noisy lol
 
I've never been able to move mine either, if I'm bloated then I lie down and roll over quickly that releases the trapped wind usually dramatically lol
Good job my husband loves me unconditionally lol

I got in bed last night after a bout on the toilet and was freezing so asked my hubby to snuggle me. Completely asleep, he says, "Are you going to fart on me?" OMG. This is now my life! But, on the plus side, the scales are moving!
 
Haha made me laugh, my husband says me windy pops always sound like a question as they get high pitched at the end!
 
So, tomorrow is my 4 month anniversary and 40 lbs gone! Here's some pics from insertion day and today. The last two also have my 12 week pics.
